It may seem unusual for an accounting firm to be
donating an art collection to an arts academy, but that
is exactly what happened recently as the Norwalk office of accounting
firm Citrin Cooperman donated 20 pieces of art to the Seabury
Academy of the Music and
the Arts, also located in Norwalk.
The artwork was collected for more than 30 years by the
firm from various places around the world.
" We
can't thank Citrin Cooperman enough for this incredibly
generous gift. This one of a kind gesture will help to
enrich the lives of all of those who participate in the
programs of the Academy," said Lynden Magnoli, Vice
President of the Seabury Academy of Music and the Arts.
A
partner at Citrin Cooperman, Gil Watkins, served as
founding Treasurer of the Academy, and has maintained
strong ties with the organization and was instrumental
in the gift. "There could be no better home for our
collection than Seabury which has community-oriented
programs for children and adults in the areas of music
education and performance as well as in the visual
arts," said Watkins.
" This
donation is part of Citrin Cooperman's ongoing policy of
giving back to the community," said Mark L. Fagan,
Managing Partner of the Citrin Cooperman's Norwalk
office. "At Citrin Cooperman we take great pride in
working with charitable groups such as the Seabury
Academy. The
firm is very pleased to have this opportunity to support
this commendable organization."
The
artwork commemorates important musical and art
exhibitions around the globe.
